Works great on my open back banjo (4.5 pounds). Easy to use and adjust. Snap clips are easy to latch. Very comfortable. Highly recommend. I use a padded leather strap on my resonator banjo (5 pounds). It is more comfortable, does not move as much but is more difficult to attach and it is much heavier. I like both straps but the nylon strap is easier to deal with on light weight banjos.

Strap not effective holding up 6 string banjo. The weight of the neck is too much for this narrow, nylon strap. The banjo will point neck down unless you use your left hand primarily to hold up the neck, making it difficult to play.

I would choose a wider strap with something to create a little friction on your shoulder next time. This strap does not work for me.
